Executive Summary

Monitoring of noise levels at sensitive receptors in the area surrounding Allianz Stadium wasundertaken during sound checks, rehearsals, and the Closing Show Celebration concert on the4th and 5th October 2018 to determine compliance with the following noise criteria defined in thesite's Noise Management Plan (NMP):

'During sound test(s), rehearsal(s) and concert(s), LAmax and the LCmax measured at thespecified locations described in Section 15.4 will not exceed:

ii) For activities conducted at the SFS: 80 dB(A) and 100dB(C).'

Throughout the monitoring, noise levels were recorded every two minutes, and observationswere made as to the source of noise and potential exceedances at each location. The noise levelrecorded represents the highest RMS noise level recorded during the two minute period. Hence,even where exceedances are identified it is possible that for the majority of the two minuteperiod, receptor noise levels were compliant with the NMP criteria.

During the sound checks on the 4th October (intermittently from 2:00 pm until 7:00 pm)monitoring was completed to confirm compliance and to determine if adjustments to the soundsystem were necessary to achieve compliance. Typically noise levels were well below establishedcriteria throughout the testing, with one measured exceedance occurring during a soundcheck ofthe loudest anticipated song. Adjustments to maintain subsequent compliance wereprogrammed into the set by the FOH operators based on advice from the Event Monitoring staff.All amplification ceased ahead of the 7:00 pm curfew.

It is noted that the measured exceedance does not constitute an actual exceedance due to theallowances for elevated winds during the period, and allowance for initial adjustments outlinedin the NMP.

During the sound checks of 5th October 2018, advice was provided by ENM staff on operatinglevels likely to result in compliance in accordance with the sound checks, and change inweather. Adjustments were made to the system and programmed for the event.

During all performances the operating levels were generally below the criteria by 3 dB or more,however some occasions the measured levels were within 1 dB of the criteria.

No exceedences occurred during the event day, on the 5th October 2018.

During the event no complaints were received by the Trust during the line checks of 4 th October,or sound checks and performance of 5th October 2018.

The main performance finished at 10:30 pm, immediately followed by a 4 minute fireworksdisplay ending at 10:35 pm. It is noted the event, and therefore the commencement offireworks were delayed due to the weather and extended beyond the 10:30pm curfew.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT

Sydney Cricket Ground Trust commissioned Air Noise Environment Pty Ltd to conduct eventnoise monitoring during the closing show ceremony concert as required under the NoiseManagement Plan (NMP) for the facility1.

This report presents a summary of the results of the monitoring and a comparison with the noisecriteria for the event as defined in the NMP.

1.2 EVENT DETAILS

The concert event and line checks were held at Allianz Stadium (SFS) on on Thursday 4 th Octberand Friday 5th October 2018. This report presents the noise monitoring methodology and resultsfor the line checks and performance.

The approximate schedule for the amplified line checks, sound checks and event performanceswere as follows:

Thursday:■ Line checks: 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm.■ Rehearsal/sound checks: 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm.

Friday:■ Rehearsal/sound checks: 10:00 am – 2:30 pm.■ Guy Sebastian / sound check: 2:30 pm – 3:15 pm■ Busby Marou / sound check: 3:30 pm – 4:00 pm■ Event: 5:00 pm – 10:30 pm

It was noted as a result of inclement weather, the timing of soundchecks and some of the mainshow were adjusted slightly, and in some instances reduced in duration.

The event was attended by 29,219 patrons.

1.3 EVENT NOISE CRITERIA

Noise limits for concert events held at Allianz Stadium are provided in the site's NMP as follows:

'3.2.2 Concerts, Rehearsals and Sound Tests

Both dB(A) and dB(C) limits are specified for concerts as a particular impact on localreceptors of amplified music is low-tone bass sounds – measured in dB(C).

During sound test(s), rehearsal(s) and concert(s), LAmax and the LCmax measured at themonitoring locations will not exceed:

1 Sydney Cricket and Sports Ground Trust (SCGT) Noise Management Plan for Sydney Cricket and SportsGround Trust (January 2017)


/NETWORK/PROJECTS/5510/REPORTING/EVENT/5510_BUBLE_V02.ODT Page 1



■ For activities conducted at the SFS: 80 dB(A) and 100dB(C). '

Section 6.2.1 of the NMP details the monitoring positions that must be considered as follows:

'Monitoring Locations

For both sporting events and concerts attended monitoring locations will be as set outbelow.

For activities taking place at Allianz Stadium:

■ At a point within one (1) metre of the boundary nearest to Allianz Stadium at234 Moore Park Road, Paddington; and

■ At a point within one (1) metre of the boundary nearest to Allianz Stadium of 10Alexander Street, Paddington'

The NMP also presents the following considerations relevant to concert performance noise:

■ An exceedance of the noise level limit by a maximum of 5 dB(A) and/or 5 dB(C) duringa single (5) minute period during the first ten (10) minutes of the performance of eachnew act will not be taken to be a breach of the limits.

■ Noise levels measured when wind speed exceeds 5 m/s (at microphone height) shouldnot be used to measure compliance with noise limits in the Notice, as wind generatednoise may limit measurement accuracy. During periods of wind greater than 5 m/s theTrust must continue to take all reasonable and feasible actions to minimise noise.

■ Concerts: A concert must not commence prior to 1000 hours or finish after 2230hours on any day. Not withstanding the above, concerts may continue until 2300 hoursif an occurrence beyond the control of the Trust delays the concert. The total length ofa concert must not be greater than five (5) hours.

■ Rehearsals: Rehearsals will not commence prior to 1000 hours or finish after 1900hours. The total duration of rehearsals will be kept to an absolutely minimum; and

■ Sound Tests: Sound test(s) will not commence prior to 1000 hours or finish after1900 hours. The total duration of sound tests will be kept to an absolute minimum.

The exemption for exceedances at the start of new performances is intended to give the mixingdesk operators time to respond to changes in conditions (e.g. meteorology), or unfamiliaritywith the system (new operator). Subsequent exceedances will be considered as normal.





2 MONITORING METHODOLOGY

2.1 MONITORING POSITIONS

Monitoring during the sound checks and rehearsal were undertaken at two fixed monitoringpositions as required by the NMP. Table 2.1 presents a summary of the monitoring locationsassessed during the event, with the monitoring positions identified on Figure 1.

TABLE 2.1: SUMMARY OF MONITORING POSITIONS

Position Description

1 Fixed monitoring position located within 1 m of the front boundary of234 Moore Park Road

2 Fixed monitoring position located within 1 m of the front boundary of10 Alexander Street

Figure 1: Noise Monitoring Positions (External Fixed Locations)

In addition to the external compliance monitoring, Event Noise Management staff were presentat the front of house (FOH) position to advise the compliance status of noise levels to theproduction team throughout the event. It was noted that a dedicated sound engineer was incontrol of the overall volumes throughout the show (despite various mixing desk operators forspecific performing artists), and ENM personnel were positioned in close proximity allowing swift





advice when changes were required to operating volumes to maintain compliance.

2.2 OPERATORS

During the monitoring undertaken on 4th and 5th October 2018, Air Noise Environment personnelwere located at each position identified in Figure 1. The monitoring exercise was undertaken bythe following personnel:

■ Mixing Desk (FOH): Beau Weyers, BEng(Mech), RPEQ, MAAS;■ Position 1: James Daramola: BEng(Mech); and■ Position 2: Roger Treagus: BA, MA Env. Stud, MAAS.

2.3 MONITORING EQUIPMENT

Table 2.2 presents a summary of the equipment used the monitoring. The sound level metersused for the monitoring conform to Australian Standard 1259 "Acoustics - Sound Level Meters",(1990) Type 1 (precision sound level meter), and have an accuracy suitable for both field andlaboratory use.

The sound level meters and calibrator have been checked, adjusted and aligned to conform tothe Type 1 specifications by a third party NATA accredited laboratory within the last 24 monthsand issued with a conformance certificate.

Field calibrations of each of the instruments were also undertaken prior to and immediately afterthe monitoring was completed. Less than 0.5 dB drift occurred over the measurement periods.All instruments were fitted with a windshield and monitoring was completed at a height of 1.5 mabove ground level.





2.4 WEATHER CONDITIONS DURING THE EVENT

For the duration of amplified activities moderate south-south-westerly winds dominated therehearsal afternoon, on Thursday 4th October, and southerly winds dominated the event day onFriday 5th October.

Rain was prevalent throughout both days, the rehearsal on the Thursday, and the event day onthe Friday. The only sustained break in heavy rain during the event day was noted to occurduring the headline performance (Michael Buble).

Stratus clouds (observed as a huge gray blanket that hangs low in the sky) were prevalentthroughout both days, with cumulus clouds, also low lying, forming around 9:30 pm, which havethe potential to elevate noise levels outside the venue (via reflections).

Table 2.3 presents a summary of the meteorological data from Sydney Airport for the rehearsalafternoon and performance evening. In addition, observations regarding rain and wind intensitywere made during the event.

3 RESULTS OF MONITORING

3.1 MONITORING RESULTS

Noise monitoring results were recorded at each location every2 two minutes of amplificationthroughout the monitoring periods:

■ Thursday – 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm■ Friday – 12:00 pm to 10:30 pm

During each two minute period notes were also made regarding the sources of noise in the areaand the source of any potential exceedances of the noise criteria. It is noted that the noise levelrecorded represents the highest RMS noise level recorded during the two minute period. Hence,even where exceedances are identified it is possible that for the majority of the two minuteperiod, receptor noise levels were compliant with the NMP criteria.

During the line checks/sound checks and event of the 4th and 5th of October Event NoiseManagement (ENM) staff completed tests to determine adjustments and acceptable volumes forthe sound system to maintain compliance for external noise levels. These changes includedreduction of the volume of specific frequencies and identification of speaker arrays with potentialto influence noise external to the venue. The sound engineer made adjustments to maintainachieve compliance, and programmed them into the system.

During the sound checks on the 4th October (intermittently from 2:00 pm until 7:00 pm) EventNoise Management (ENM) staff monitored externally to confirm compliance and to determine ifadjustments to the sound system were necessary to reduce external noise levels to achievecompliance. Typically noise levels were well below established criteria throughout the testing,with one exceedance occurring during a soundcheck of the loudest anticipated song. Followingthe measured exceedences, adjustments were immediately made to the system volumes andprogrammed for subsequent testing and performances.

It is noted that the measured exceedance does not constitute an actual exceedance due to theallowances for elevated winds during the period, and allowance for initial adjustments outlinedin the NMP.

It was noted that south-south-easterly winds were prevalent during the checks, and wereexpected to continue through the event day.

All amplification on the 4th October 2018 ceased prior to the curfew time (7:00 pm).

During the sound checks of 5th October, each of the three acts performed sound checks for ashort duration due to the heavy rainfall. During this time advice was provided by ENM staff onoperating levels likely to result in compliance based on measurements completed on the 4 th,during the current sound checks, and changes in the weather. Adjustments were made to thesystem and programmed for the event. There were no measured exceedences during the soundtesting, associated with the venue noise.

Throughout the duration of the main event, from 5:00 pm until conclusion, all externalmeasured levels complied with the noise criteria. The ENM staff monitoring externally werediligent and quick to inform FOH when the noise levels were within 3 dB of the noise criteria.

2 Short periods of rain impedance and battery changes resulted in brief periods of pause. Observationswere continued throughout.





In all cases of measured elevated levels, the operators were very responsive to instruction fromENM staff to reduce levels, and the general programming remained at least 3 dB below thecriteria.

With regards to weather conditions, rain occurred during the majority of performances, with lowcloud levels. Winds were predominately south-south-westerly. Naturally, these winds woulddirect noise towards the nearest off-site sensitive receivers, however, due to localised buildings,the nearest receptors are shielded from these winds. Hence, south-westerlies were a minordisadvantage because of the potential to elevate noise levels at the nearest receptors and themonitoring location at 234 Moore Park Road.

During the show, SCGT staff and Event Noise Management staff continually informed the soundengineers whenever levels were approaching the criteria (within 3 dB) in order to maintaincompliant operating volumes. It was acknowledged that the low cloud and wet surfaces resultedin greater propagation of noise than normal, and despite a brief (< 5 seconds) exceedance ofthe criteria during the sound testing, the operators were found to be highly responsive torequests, and planned to remain below the criteria with a buffer to allow for the ‘big notes’.

The event personnel were informed that the NMP requires the event to conclude at 10:30 pm.The stage performance and all amplification conclude at 10:30 pm.

A fireworks display (to farewell Allianz Stadium) occurred at approximately 10:31 pm and lastedfor approximately 4 minutes, concluding at 10:35 pm. As is required in the NMP, the localresidents were informed of the desire to operate fireworks as part of the performance. It ishowever noted that the NMP identifies that fireworks are not to occur after 10:30 pm. Howeverthe event, and therefore the commencement of fireworks were delayed due to the weather andextended beyond the 10:30pm curfew.

Appendix B presents a summary of the recorded noise levels and observations during the soundcheck and rehearsal.

3.2 CONCERT HOTLINE

No complaints were received by the Trust during the line checks on 4th October and the mainevent on 5th October





3.3 REVIEW OF EXCEEDANCES

Table 3.1 presents a summary of the 2-minute monitoring periods, where amplified music fromthe venue resulted in an LCmax exceeding the criteria.

One exceedence occurred on Thursday 4th October, during Michael Buble’s rehearsal, atapproximately 5:54 pm. The operator at Position 1 – 234 Moore Park Road, recorded anexceedence of 104 dBC, reportedly from the orchestra playing a loud note (the crescendo of theanticipated loudest song).

ENM staff at FOH were informed of the exceedance and relayed the information to the mixingdesk operators of the specific dB level beyond which the criteria exceeded externally. Thenecessary adjustment was programmed such that the resulting ‘loudest song’ would complyexternally (i.e. a -4dBC correction at FOH). All subsequent measurements complied with thecriteria, throughout the rehearsals, soundchecks and event of the 5th October 2018.

It was noted on all occasions that the mixing desk operators were responsive to requests toreduce and adjust the operating volumes. Some amendment to the system was required as aresult of the rain (elevated humidity, low cloud, and wet surfaces can result in greaterpropagation of noise, especially at low frequencies). It is also noted that the majority ofmonitoring was also completed in the rain, which may have influenced the measurements.

The Noise Management Plan identifies that:

• Exemption for exceedences at the start of new performances: An exceedence of the noiselevel limit in condition 15(a) by a maximum of 5 dB(A) and/or 5 dB(C) during a singlefive (5) minute period during the first ten (10) minutes of the performance of each newact will not be taken to be a breach of condition 15.

• Noise levels measured when wind speed exceeds 5 m/s (at microphone height) shouldnot be used to measure compliance with noise limits in the Notice, as wind generatednoise may limit measurement accuracy. During periods of wind greater than 5 m/s theTrust must continue to take all reasonable and feasible actions to minimise noise

Review of these allowances identify that the single measured elevated level, occuring duringelevated winds, does not constitute and exceedance of the NMP criteria.

Overall the volume of the event was well managed, with mixing desk operators working activelyto minimise their impact on surrounding neighbourhood, and rehearsals were kept to aminimum.

A-Weighting A response provided by an electronic circuit which modifiessound in such a way that the resulting level is similar to thatperceived by the human ear.

dB (decibel) This is the scale on which sound pressure level is expressed. Itis defined as 20 times the logarithm of the ratio between theroot-mean-square pressure of the sound field and the referencepressure (0.00002 N/m2).

dB(A) This is a measure of the overall noise level of sound across theaudible spectrum with a frequency weighting (i.e. ‘A’ weighting)to compensate for the varying sensitivity of the human ear tosound at different frequencies.

dB(C) This is a standard weighting of the audible frequencies,commonly used for the measurement of Peak Sound Pressurelevel.

Facade Noise Level Refers to a sound pressure level determined at a point close toan acoustically reflective surface (in addition to the ground).Typically a distance of 1 metre is used.

Free Field Refers to a sound pressure level determined at a point awayfrom reflective surfaces other than the ground with no significantcontribution due to sound from other reflective surfaces;generally as measured outside and away from buildings.

Hertz (Hz) A measure of the frequency of sound. It measures the numberof pressure peaks per second passing a point when a pure toneis present.

LAeq

Equivalent ContinuousSound Level

This is the equivalent steady sound level in dB(A) containing thesame acoustic energy as the actual fluctuating sound level overthe given period. For a steady sound with small fluctuations, itsvalue is close to the average sound pressure level.

LA90,T This is the dB(A) level exceeded 90% of the time, T.

LA10,T This is the dB(A) level exceeded 10% of the time, T.

LAmax is the maximum A-weighted sound pressure level recorded overthe period stated.

LCmax is the maximum C-weighted sound pressure level recorded overthe period stated.
